Study on a Roller-Footing Isolated Single-Pier System

Abstract:

As to improve bridges’ seismic performance, horizontal earthquake was isolated at the bottom of piers. With one pier system as the object of study, adopting nonlinear time history analysis analyzed the un-isolation system, the traditional isolation system and the new isolation system’s seismic performance especially when the actual earthquake was different from the design earthquake, in which the new isolation system was based on rolling balls. Results shows, as for the new isolation system, the internal force is independent of earthquake accelerations and earthquake periods, therefore, sympathetic vibration will not exist, and the internal force is always too small to destroy the system.
